Europe's biggest poker arena is once more host of the WSOP International Circuit and the tail end of the series contains the standout event of the schedule. The €1,700 WSOP Circuit Main Event comes with a guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000 and successfully surpassed the seven-figure goal in the previous editions. Within eight months, it is the third time the series is taking place at the King's Resort in Rozvadov, which has become the home of major live poker festivals for enthusiasts of the card game from near and afar.
In September 2021, the series kicked off a return for live poker on a major scale on European soil and the flagship tournament attracted a field of 912 entries. The duel between Andrea Ricci and Simone Lombardo saw both Italians share the biggest slice of the €1,342,920 prize pool with Ricci taking home the top prize of €236,489 and the coveted gold ring. Late in January 2022, Turkey's Feyzullah Karaarslan came out on top of a 808-entry strong field after defeating King's regular Aleksandar Tomovic in heads-up.
Tomovic and Ricci are certainly be expected to be back in action at one of their preferred poker locations. Two starting days are available in the €1,700 Main Event on Friday, April 15 and Saturday, April 16, both of which feature nine levels of 60 minutes each. Two re-entries are available for each day and the late registration period closes at the start of level 11, two levels into Day 2 on Sunday, April 17. All players receive 50,000 in chips and last minute additions in level 12 would enter with 20 big blinds.
The tournament is slated to play down to a winner on April 19 and the top finishers will also receive an entry to the 2022 WSOP Europe €10,350 Main Event on top of their cash prizes as part of a year-long promotion at King's Resort as well. All ring event winners of the ongoing stop will furthermore qualify for the WSOP Tournament of Champions at the end of the 2022 WSOP in Las Vegas, which offers a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000.
